active junior linebacker bringing steady early-season production for SEMO
In the 2026 season, Josiah Raven has opened as an active junior linebacker for Southeast Missouri State and already logged 4 tackles in the opener, with 1 solo and 3 assisted stops in the 23-21 win at Indiana State. Listed at 5'11 and 223 pounds, he brings a compact, physical build and has been used as an outside linebacker, which suggests a role built on chase speed, toughness, and edge-setting more than flashy stat-padding. If a team wants a reliable, downhill defender with junior-college experience and immediate special-teams/rotation value, Raven looks like a sensible fit.
